"Valve's approach to Dota 2 is unusual in that the gameplay itself is remaining almost entirely untouched."

"This approach means that Dota 2 basically is DotA-Allstars with new technology."

So why should I play it as opposed to something like league of legends that is trying to improve the gameplay.  You may criticize LoL for being "DOTA like", but it is the game that has been trying to evolve the genre the most (other than Demigod).  I criticized HoN for being too much like DOTA (from what I have read about it).

Is DOTA 2 going to have any amazing gameplay innovations or is it just going to look pretty with a better matchmaking system.  Don't get me wrong, a great matchmaking system is awesome, but I was hoping for more.
